1st Test: India v England, Chennai Dec 11-15 2008

[TheParraboy]

Dravid out for 4

India 2/144

India still very much in the box seat and should win this game pretty easily

 

[African Monkey]

Hopefully Dravid retires soon for his sake which is a shame really.

It's time to go...Rahul :arrow:

Set up nicely now - need about 260 with 9 wickets in hand... Great test!

What an amazing game, with 1 session to go there are still all 3 outcomes available, but with 6 wickets in hand and just 83 runs to get India are in front. This is why test cricket still is and will always be no1.

Indeed - Tendulkar and Yuvraj just 48 to get now... 6 wickets in hand, India's to lose - brilliant test

 

[hineyrulz]

India's test to lose for sure JJ, and the poor Poms will be devasted :lol: Good result IMO.

"England truly have to be the only country that can throw away such an obvious advantage. No wonder they are the worlds laughing stock," says Dan.

From cricinfo :lol:

 

[hineyrulz]

Dan is spot on :lol:

 

[El Diablo]

[hineyrulz]

[BWNB]

LOL How did you go in India? We didnt lose by record scores like 315 odd runs at least.

Fact is India are for sure the best test side i the world atm. And as they're pitches dont deteriorate these days it seems this isnt as bad as it looks for England.

Still a solid performance against like i said perhaps far and away the best test side in the world, although RSA may ahve something to say about that.

The only concern is that our two frontline quicks in Harmy and Anderson are just as bad as Mitchell Johnson. We need Sidebottom back.

 

[lockyno1]

You just lost by conceding a record run chase FFS!

ONE series loss since the ashes in 05

it took three and a half years to lose another series and we're not the best anymore?

lol

RSA are pretty good 8 from 9 and one draw, we will see how good they are this week.

 

[simmo1]

No-one can claim the title until Australia is beaten on home soil.

Soap dodger, huh? How original. You fit the stereotype so well.

We got beat by a record chase in India. You got beat by a record margin by India. Both bad...atleast we were in the game until the last couple of hours.

But hey, compared to india we both clearly suck.

 

[Twizzle]

I wouldn't say India are the best in the world Tommy, but they are certainly the best at playing in India.

We haven't lost here in 13 years, they have a long way to go to catch us.
